Helping a child choose a positive behaviour to practise can be easier when the message is visual, brief and upbeat. Be Your Awesome Self is a printable children’s wellbeing poster with simple reminders about kindness, confidence, resilience, responsibility, curiosity, managing stress and using time well.
Parents, carers, primary teachers, school counsellors and children’s wellbeing practitioners are likely to find this most useful for younger children who respond well to colourful visual prompts. The poster uses friendly monster characters and short phrases to introduce everyday personal development skills in a child-friendly way.
The content is arranged as twelve positive reminders: be kind, be respectful, keep learning, stay active, be curious, be responsible, manage stress, be confident, set goals, never give up, use your time and have fun. Each section includes a simple explanation, such as taking deep breaths, asking questions, making good choices and starting big dreams with small steps.
In practice, it could be printed for a classroom wall, nurture room, therapy space, social work visit, home learning area or bedroom. Adults might use it as a quick conversation starter, asking a child which message they need today, which one they already do well, or which one they want to try during the week.
The wording suits children who are building self-esteem, emotional regulation, growth mindset and positive behaviour habits. It may also support PSHE lessons, wellbeing displays, morning check-ins, confidence work, reward charts or gentle reminders after a tricky day, without feeling like a formal worksheet or long activity.
